What are the chances ??

[Basic.J]

I have just downloaded Lime Wire and also just joined here ( so hello all ) I noticed Lime Wire is very easy to use and intend to download some music and videos , but here is my question.
What are the chances of getting caught ? As it is a free download/swap of files can you get in trouble or is it very unlikely ?
Cheers J.

I guess, it depends where you live & where you use it.

For example:
Canada; you get caught (small fine)
. . . . United States: you get caught
(huge fine, some slammer time, and maybe you'll get your *** sued...)

Also, it might not be a good idea if you work at an office and use LimeWire.
(chances are they keep track of internet activity)

Use PeerGuardian. It helps to nagh gittin cauht.
